Detroit Muscle: 2012 Mustang 5.0 Supercharged Convertible Review

‘THE RIGHT STUFF’ 
The bold appearance of ‘The Right Stuff’ Mustang by Detroit Muscle salutes the fabled P51 Mustang fighter airplane from world war II that was piloted in combat by aces such as Chuck Yeager, much like today’s racing drivers will in the upcoming revival of the legendary Trans-Am racing series.
Detroit Muscle’s ‘The Right Stuff’ 2012 Mustang 5.0 convertible mimics the P51’s with its red nose, red tail section, lower tapering red stripe graphics package over their cust…

Review: 2011 Toyota Tundra CrewMax “Rock Warrior” 4×4

By Roger Boylan Get out of my way, you worms, I am the mighty Rock Warrior. Or rather, my truck is, I’m just the old coot behind the wheel. The manly moniker was invented by Toyota Racing Development, otherwise known as TRD (another mellifluous name, I think you’ll agree), Toyota’s manly—and sporty—performance research team, one [...]

Capsule Review: 2012 Buick Regal GS

When Buick announced that it would not be rebadging the Opel Insignia OPC as the Buick Regal GS, and that instead of the OPC’s all wheel drive and turbocharged V6 we’d be getting a front-drive turbo four performance model, I was a bit skeptical. On paper, the proposed GS just didn’t seem different enough from [...]

2012 FIAT 500C Convertible Lounge Review & Test Drive

To introduce the US market to FIAT, Chrysler leaves the traditional Italian brand’s design somewhat untouched while adding many features and safety improvements over the European version. The all-new Fiat 500 is a two-door subcompact available in a hatchback or convertible variants.
As cute as it is, the new Fiat 500 is a fully functional vehicle that has a long European lineage with a few reworkings to better suit its needs here in the states. For the US-spec Fiat 500, it gets a bigger fuel tank…

Forza Motorsport 4 Video Game Review: More Cars and More Realism

If you judge video games on their development time, Xbox’s Forza Motorsport franchise absolutely flattens PlayStation’s juggernaut Gran Turismo series. We reviewed the last Forza—number 3—just two years ago. By the time last year’s Gran Turismo 5 finally appeared, fans had waited nearly two and a half millennia since GT4. (Okay, so it was closer to four years, but the constant delays—it’ll be out in March! In October! Two years from now!—made it feel longer.) By the time GT6 comes around…

In his novel Excession, sci-fi writer Iain M. Banks introduced the concept of the “Outside Context Problem”. It’s described like so: The usual example given to illustrate an Outside Context Problem was imagining you were a tribe on a largish, fertile island; you’d tamed the land, invented the wheel or writing or whatever… you were [...]

Review: 2011 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI

By Chris Haak I just finished reviewing a large, seven-passenger Chrysler Town & Country minivan, and now find myself moving onto my next task.  In the Town & Country review, I laid out my argument for why minivans are really the ultimate family vehicles: they’re comfortable, safe, and efficient given the size of their interior.
